This Week’s Games Even though Christmas is a couple of weeks away today sees the last big release of the year – DS RPG Golden Sun: Dark Dawn. NGamer gave it 92% and some of our followers on Twitter who imported the US version say it’s very good indeed. You may remember the Golden Sun …
This Week’s Games For those that are willing to brave the snow, or have a postman willing to work during all weather conditions, there are a few quality titles out this week. Donkey Kong Country Returns is Nintendo’s big Christmas Wii game and everybody who plays it seemingly loves it. If you missed the news …
This Week’s Games Reviews for Epic Mickey are starting to appear and are off to a bumpy start – the Official Nintendo Magazine gave it 85% while Eurogamer painted a 6/10 on it. I’d wait for a few more reviews before splashing the cash, especially seeing that Donkey Kong Country is out next week. Raving …
This Week’s Games Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood has gone from being a game quietly announced with very little fanfare to being the highest rated game this winter. It currently has an average review score of 92%, which is higher than even Call of Duty: Black Ops (currently at 88%). Eurogamer gave it 10/10: “Never before have …
This Week’s Games It seems funny to say that most of the games out this week require another £130 to be blown in order able to play. I am of course talking about the Kinect, which doesn’t appear to be totally sold out just yet. Eurogamer reviewed the launch line up last week – Dance …
This Week’s Games There’s no Bond movie this year yet there’s not one but two James Bond games out this week. If the early reviews are to go by then it’s GoldenEye 007 on Wii that’s the one to spend your golden coins on. GoldenEye 007 scored a lofty 9 on IGN but they only …
This Week’s Games Fable creator Peter Molyneux recently said that he “has never made a great gameâ€. I’m not sure how Microsoft feels about him saying that seeing that Fable III is out this week. By all account though, it is pretty great, gaining a strong amount of 8/10s. A game that may not be …
This Week’s Games Videogame publishers of the world must be able to smell that money sitting in your bank account. That’s the only reason I can think as to why there’s at least five new games out this week which are worth considering. That’s nothing compared to next week’s onslaught of new titles, though. Fallout: …
This Week’s Games Two very fine adventure games are upon us this week – Enslaved: Odyssey to the West and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. If you’re wondering what one to buy, then my advice is to buy both. Come on – I’m sure you’ve got plenty of old games to trade in. Seriously though, if …
This Week’s Games Believe it or not there are two new PlayStation 2 games out today. FIFA 11 was always a given (even the Mega Drive received FIFA games up until 1998), but movie tie-in Despicable Me is a little bit more of a surprise. If the early reviews are to go by Despicable Me …
This Week’s Games There probably have been other games this generation that have been delayed more times than Dead Rising 2 has been, but right now I can’t think of any. General opinion seems to be that it’s better than the original, although rather similar. There’s a special edition pack which includes a pen shaped …
This Week’s Games Will the PlayStation Move get the world moving? Like some industry experts have said, I think it’ll take a while for word of mouth to spread before sales really become strong. The launch line-up may chart highly next week though, thanks to early adopters who want to try the technology first. That …
This Week’s Games Sometimes the strangest games receive sequels. Ninety Nine Nights II is a good example – the original, which was released way back in 2006, wasn’t very good. Reviews suggest that this one isn’t much cop either – the average review score currently stands at 51%. Retailers like Amazon are already offering it …
This Week’s Games Sometimes it’s good to let somebody else give their perspective on something. We’ve had three decent Metroid games from Retro Studios and this week you can experience what Team Ninja has managed to do with the franchise. If reviews are to go by Metroid: Other M pushes the Wii hard and is …
This Week’s Games This week’s biggest release is frequently delayed Mafia II. General opinion seems to be that it looks really nice but the missions are dull – they’re same old guff we’ve seen before. Reviews so far include a 4/10 from Eurogamer and a 6/10 from EDGE. Did 2k Czech learn nothing from EA’s …
